Frog legs + salt
 

bizarre

dude that is fuckedd

wtf

:Puke:

Damn... reminded me of this video:

Why are they twitching?

next thing u know they be hopping off the table. anyways that is freaky!

Answer

Calcium is actually the main cation (positively charged ion) responsible for muscle contraction. Most people think it is Sodium or Potassium. Sodium is an anion (negatively charged ion) which controls your body's saturation (all the way down to the cellular level) and also aids in transporting minerals. What happens when you are dehydrated? Your muscles cramp up. Potassium is a cation which creates electricity.

In muscle movement, sodium and potassium create a channel in which sodium rushes in and potassium rushes out causing the muscle fiber membrane to become more positively charged, triggering an action. This ultimately would not be possible without calcium, which starts the whole process. For more information check out the following link.

that is fucked

at least you know its fresh

damn look at em go

I'm no biologist? but if I understand that correctly the sald is essentially causing the legs to have continual muscle cramps?

Yo....WHAT THE FUCK?! They didn't set the video up to some music.

freaky shit

^ Dude... the reference is wrong. I'm no chemistry major, but I've taken enough science courses to know that Sodium is also a positively charged ion (Na+). Plus the sodium from the salt, is just causing depolarization and yeah...you get the whole action potential thing going along.

Calcium binds to myosin and generates a force causing twitching.

Calcium is a +2positive charge cation

Sodium is a +1positive charge cation

maybe any positively charged cation can cause twitching in invertabrate smooth muscle

also note that table salt is (NaCl) the Cl is chloride and not Calcium

zombie frogs, now id like to see this happen with other kinds of meats

heres frog legs with MJ Music hahah

im surprised you ve asians never knew that. i remember as a kid my dad had some and i kept unloading the salt for fun. oh he said it tasted like chicken. Long time ago i remember T &T selling them live dont know if they do now.

1) cut open your calf
2) pour salt
3) see twitching
4)????????
5) PROFIT

that muscle movement is funny

ew that is sick.. but cool though nonetheless

creepy

It doesn't work with just frog bits you know. ;)

I admit I was actually expecting them to shrivel up like slugs instead. :lol
